How did humans drink water in caveman times?

1.86K views

Not necessarily ~where~ humans found water – I understand it was lakes, streams, etc. – but our bodies seem so unnaturally built for hunching over a lake and drinking water. We don’t have 4 legs like other animals so we can’t do it very easily and I imagine it would hurt your back to be leaning over water like that. Did they scoop it up with their hands or something? I’m just curious if anyone definitively knows the answer to this. Thanks

Used their hands or probably used large leafs or made a simple device to store water. Humans back then were very much stronger and tougher than the average human today. So I am sure a lil bit of back pain didn’t bother them!
